I don't want to launch into a masive rant about how poor i believe the latest version of FM is..So no mention of the

Ridiculous Shots to goal ratio
Incredible keepers
3 foot strikers rising majestically above 6ft defenders to power in headers
Defenders just stopping for a rest when opp through on goal
Def midfielders stopping for a sleep and having the ball taken off them...

Whoops sorry..

Anyway, i think i'm ready to give up. This is a massively long shot but does anyone know if there is an updated database with all the latest players etc from 2008, available for FM2006?

I missed out on 2007, but 06 was great, all seemed to make sense to me...Long shot i know, but still...

Probably not available, but I'm sure you can ahve fun with the 06 database. 06 is a great game indeed. I won things on that game, I remember my first season with Chelsea winning everything

2007 with patch 7.0.2 is a good game as well though. You can probably get it very cheap in the store.

06 was quality...Had good tactics that i just can't seem to replicate in 08.

All i really want is a decent set of tactics that work, and that with the right transfers will bring me great success.

Not criticising anyone who enjoys the in-depth detail, thats just how i want to play the game

Pim..

Do you know if the latest FM07 patch has Leeds in League 1 ?

I'm probably going to buy 07 and wait for 08 to be improved..Just wanted to know how up to date it was...

Pim1984

FM 07 post-patch is up to date until February 2007.

It is harder than 06 though and you maybe need more tactical approaches than you are used to. For example a defending counter formation for away games and another more attacking for home games. In fm 06 I could keep one tactic and win a lot with good players, in 07 the story is a bit different. It is more tactic based. But 08 continues that tradition it seems.
